The floral motifs, framed by gilt details, are typical of Balinese artistry, showcasing bold contrasts of red, green, gold, and black. The intricate carving adds dimension and depth, creating a piece that is as much a decorative accent as it is a functional container.

Made from albacia wood—a sustainable and fast-growing tropical wood commonly used in Balinese handicrafts—this box has a rustic charm that makes it stand out from machine-made alternatives. The hinged lid opens to reveal a storage compartment, suitable for jewelry, keepsakes, or other small treasures.

A lively and colorful example of Indonesian folk artistry, this box brings a touch of Bali’s craft tradition into any setting. 8h x 16w x 9d See less
